The
Bramah Museum illustrates and explains the history of authentic British
leaf tea and of roasted and ground coffee, both of which are served
in the coffee and tea room. They are also sold in the shop.
The Bramah coffee and tea room serves authentic British leaf tea,
of the kind that used to be drunk all over the British Commonwealth
until the arrival of the tea-bag in the 1960s. The coffee room also
serves roasted and ground coffee, made the Bramah way, so as to
enjoy the aroma and flavour. Bramah coffee has a different taste
to the espresso variations of today.
The
Bramah Museum is in two sections, one telling the story of tea over
four hundred years, the other telling the story of coffee. Both
sections display a unique collection of ceramics, metalwork and
graphic art associated with tea and coffee, illustrating their planting
and trading, their social history, and the many methods and means
devoted to making these important drinks, up to and including the
present day.
The Bramah shop sells the equipage essential to make authentic
leaf tea and traditional ground coffee the Bramah way. It also offers
a range of related accessories and souvenirs relating to tea and
coffee, and important books on the subject. (Available from
our
shop).
